==The following seemed too off-topic for the CFD discussion==
So I found my way here from [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 August 7#Category:Short description with empty Wikidata description|there]]. Forgetting about wikidata for a second, would it somehow be possible to detect pages with <em>'''multiple local'''</em> short descriptions? That would be an issue infinitely more worthy of maintenance categorization, especially when these do not match. I believe the most common scenario will be one description manually entered in the article's wikitext, and the other automatically generated from infobox parameters (which may or may not be positioned in that order, which may or may not matter—please advise). ―[[special:contributions/cobaltcigs|cobaltcigs]] 14:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
:
: {{re|cobaltcigs}} Infobox templates that generate short descriptions should be in the [[:Category:Templates that generate short descriptions]] and they should all add the <code>noreplace</code> parameter. Having the noreplace parameter prevents the short description from replacing any earlier defined short description, so the order won't matter: any explicit use of {{tl|short description}} will override a generated one.
: If you think there's a maintenance value in looking at articles that have a generated and an explicit short description, the you can search for <code><nowiki>hastemplate:"Infobox settlement" hastemplate:"short description"</nowiki></code>, for example (and repeat for each of the other 36 templates in [[:Category:Templates that generate short descriptions]]). There are currently 527,822 articles with both {{tl|Infobox settlement}} and {{tl|short description}}. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 17:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
